I enjoyed the film, but the first one was a better and more intense experience. We talk about certain sequels or reboots having too many needle drops but this one needed more. How do you make a sequel to Twister without any reference to characters or events from the first film? Where was Mark Mancina's score? How do we not have a Van Halen song blasting at some point? Also, I am not a girlie but how do you not have them kiss at the end? Are we back in the Hays code or something? #Releasethekisscut.
Movie is still a blast and Glen Powell is a movie star dripping with charisma. The movie immediately picks up whenever he is on screen.

I liked it a lot. I did think it was a little weird they never kissed too, but it doesn’t really bother me. Just seemed odd.
It felt a lot like Top Gun: Maverick. It’s a great time at the movies.

Jack Button didn’t kiss the girl at the end of Big Trouble in Little China, either.

I thought it looked dumb, but was pleasantly surprised. Was a fun time.

I saw it at a test screening a few months ago. I think they MIGHT have kissed in that version? Don't remember exactly.
And yeah, it's pretty much totally isolated from the first one, which is a damn shame because I love the first one and hold a lot of nostalgia for it, but I guess they lacked confidence in its cultural impact to lean into referencing it too much. Perhaps having Alan Ruck or someone show up would ignite the member-berries for too few people, but I'd have been one.

I think they asked us about it in the survey. I recall being somehwat neutral to the kiss because I felt bad for the Anthony Ramos character.
